<p>A system and method is disclosed for estimating a motion vector for transcoding digital video. The method comprises choosing a direction of an adjustment vector for estimation of a motion vector within a search region, and choosing an adjustment vector having a minimum sum absolute difference (SAD) within the search region. The method further comprises estimating the motion vector by summing an adjustment vector and a base motion vector. In one embodiment, the direction of the adjustment vector is along an arbitrary axial direction of the search region. In another embodiment, the direction of the adjustment vector is along an arbitrary quadrant direction of the search region. In yet another embodiment, the direction of the adjustment vector is a direction of an optimum adjustment vector.</p> |
